Two former Bryan College professors who rebelled against the school by refusing to sign unaltered the Statement of Faith affirming Adam and Eve are now suing the school.

The contracts of Stephen Barnett and Steven DeGeorge are demanding they be given their jobs back along with the court declaring the school’s statement of faith be declared null and void.  The two former teacher claim that by affirming humans came from Adam and Eve and not via evolution the school’s board was modifying the school charter.

The school’s Board of Trustees said their statement that “we believe that all humanity is descended from Adam and Eve.  They are historical persons created by God in a special formative act, and not from previously existing life forms” is nothing more than clarification of the fourth item in the school’s Statement of Faith.

Students have joined several faculty members in opposing the school’s standing on the Scripture in deciding the origin of life.
